Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We hypothesized that lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) deletion may inhibit oxidative stress signals, reduce collagen accumulation and attenuate cardiac remodeling after chronic ischemia. Activation of LOX-1 plays a significant role in the development of inflammation, apoptosis and collagen signals during acute ischemia. Wild-type and LOX-1 knockout (KO) mice were subjected to occlusion of left coronary artery for 3 weeks. Markers of cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis-related signals (collagen IV, collagen-1 and fibronectin) and oxidant load (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase expression, activity of mitogen-activated protein kinases and left ventricular (LV) tissue thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) were analyzed. In in vitro experiments, HL-1 cardiomyocytes were transfected with angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1R) or type 2 receptor (AT2R) genes to determine their role in the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. LOX-1 KO mice had 25% improvement in survival over the 3-week period of chronic ischemia. LOX-1 deletion reduced collagen deposition and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy (∼75%) in association with a decrease in oxidant load and AT1R upregulation (all P<0.05). The LOX-1 KO mice hearts exhibited a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) expression and matrix metalloproteinase 2 activity, and increased AT2R expression (P<0.05). Attenuation of cardiac remodeling was associated with improved cardiac hemodynamics (LV ±dp/dt and cardiac ejection fraction). In vitro studies showed that it is AT1R, and not AT2R overexpression that induces cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. We demonstrate for the first time that LOX-1 deletion reduces oxidative stress and related intracellular signaling, which leads to attenuation of the positive feedback loop involving AT1R and LOX-1. This results in reduced chronic cardiac remodeling.Gene Therapy advance online publication, 22 September 2011; doi:10.1038/gt.2011.133.
